Nursing Scholarship Resource Center

We remain dedicated to ensuring you have access to scholarships, grants, and resources that are both internal and external. Follow the below steps to know you’re getting the most out of your education.

Step 1:

File the FAFSA.

We evaluate need-based aid through the FAFSA . Information from your FAFSA is used to determine your eligibility for financial aid. No FAFSA – no aid. So be sure to file!

For questions about financial aid, visit our Student Financial Services.

Step 2:

Merit Based Scholarships.

Based on your academic achievements in high school, we offer merit-based aid. More information on our internal merit based scholarships can be found here.

Step 3:

Research Outside Scholarships

We encourage you to continue to research any other outside scholarships. These are some we have come across and fit our nursing population, but keep in mind there are many out there to apply for!
